An interview with Sue Terry of Metroline Coaching, with a lovely story – also in the video – about how step by step, she helped a woman overcome her fear of having to be at the same important family event as her Ex husband. “Sitting across the table from me, K smiled as she said, ‘I feel we’ve taken the first steps towards a better relationship at last.’ I knew that six months ago she’d never have believed that she and her ex-husband could even be in the same room, and here...

The Funeral We couldn’t get inside, so it wasn’t till later that I saw the elegant yet reassuringly rustic wickerwork coffin. So many mourners, the church was full. Only close family allowed in. I thought of waving my “Godmother to the youngest” badge, but decided on this warm sunny day that sitting outside was preferable anyway. Large speakers boomed the two female vicars’s voices to the external congregation, but the singing – no doubt beautiful to hear within the cool stone walls...

Q : Our Mediation process just keeps breaking down. We are both so keen to do this without laywers but just keep getting into the same arguments – please help!

In my case I self-repped AND used counsel, bringing in the “gun-for-hire” when points of Law needed to be argued, and then standing on my own when it was appropriate, so I’ve seen both sides of the coin. Likewise I’ve faced counsel, and later, a self-repping ex-partner. I did this for the following reasons. Firstly, process. It’s extremely complicated at times and counsel know the process, which is why I used them when I needed to. Secondly, cost. Court is...

If the State want to cut down the divorce rate, let them provide ‘marriage vouchers’ that must be cashed in before a couple can be legally married. I think the Government should give ‘marriage vouchers’ to all married couples prior to their wedding, the same as they give vouchers for national health glasses and early years’ schooling. These vouchers should contribute to the cost of: 1/ A relationship coaching session – ideally one that teaches communication...

Suzy Miller (center) with ex partner and his wife (2009) My partner ended our 10 year relationship in 2003. Our three children were aged 6, 4 and 1 at the time, and it was the most painful and traumatic experience of my life. However, as the years passed, I soon became grateful that my ex had the courage to end a relationship that was not truly feeding either of us and we now have a healthy respect for each other. It was tough getting to where I am now, and on the way I learned that...

And I’ve written about a lot, as you will see from many blog entries within www.startingovershow.co.uk. My experience of being a single...
